WASHINGTON (KDVR) – Healthcare organizations in Colorado will receive a combined $11,740,936 in grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand capacity for COVID-19 testing.

“Widespread and rapid testing is key to the fight against COVID-19, and we must continue working together to make it more widely available,” said Senator Gardner.

These grants are provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Stimulus (CARES) Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020.
